@MRFvR – the fact the substance looked like something gummy or boiled was indeed the first step towards considering confectionary as a playing piece. I considered the grid-nature to be the more important, and suddenly I was imagining chocolate...

@kpato Yes, it is. We own the junior version. It also includes a few puzzles for solitaire play.

@z Are you looking for a trainer?:) No, she does not have an account here. I think 4 year old is a bit too young for that. Maybe I’ll sign up my 6 year old soon but at the moment, he’s more interested in playing Skylanders on the wii... Make me wonder what the youngest player at LG is?

I do play othello and capture Go with my kids. They understood the rules of othello very quickly, but Go is a too abstract for them. A few days ago, my LG friend Tim Shih told me a nice metaphor for Go. It explains go as a game with dragons and castles. A castle is a structure with at least two windows (or one large windows), a dragon that cannot fly to his castle, will die. If there is enough room, a dragon can build a new castle and then it’s safe. Next time, I’ll play Dragons and Castles with my kids:)
